Biological determinants of political behaviour.
Keywords:
biopolitics, political behaviour, biological determinants of political behaviourAbstract
Political behaviour is the main aim of the article. The study tested that political behaviour is the difficult question for biopolitics, because in biopolitics there are many discussions about genetics and social origins of political behaviour. It is proved that a biopolitical community is still no clear vision of what kind of factors can be attributed to biology. Proposed as a biological determinant of political behaviour considered genetics; adaptation; domination and subjugation; instincts; imitation; coordination and cooperation; congenital properties of the brain and mind. For instance, any human being as any social primates has genetic inclination to adaptation, domination, subjugation. Social and political behaviour is influenced by instincts and congenital properties of the brain and mind. Human brain comes out as a center of political behavior formation and awareness of «Homo Politicus» of himself and his deeds.References
